Stock Showcases / Re: Venko's showcase
« on: July 01, 2013, 08:04:59 PM »
I will try to keep this fact-mageddon post maximally direct, short and with facts only :

fact : Everyone will leave permanently GTM at some point in time.
fact : But sometimes some members can leave earlier, annoyed by the comunity, like Pyscolone and some others, yes HAndrew, I agree with you on this.
fact : I understand now, why Noodle became crazy.
fact : This is my last post and last login in GTM (this insane asylum) ever.
fact : This will lead (sadly) to the instant abandoning of any unreleased RA2 related projects by me, and the banning of all GTM members from my instant messaging programs.
fact : So : no stock tournaments, no tutorials, no new texture packs (which doubled, after NvsF, by the way), I was working on.
fact : No bots from me, no surprize entering in a DSL-S tournament to proove, that a good stock builder can easily build a good DSL bot too.
fact : Once, JackDaniels said, that since it's interenet, you can't expect a feedback or support for the stuff you release.
fact : In the same manner, you can't expect the stuff itself, as well.
fact : Someone may say, that this will actually punish the stock community, which I like, but they also have a minor partisipation - watching silently and allowing the arrogant newbies to attack some respected members (Inf for example).
fact : Some people will say : "Big deal, goodbye Venko, and don't forget to close the door behind you, no one will miss you and stuff.".
fact : No one cares for my work - not a problem at all, I don't care to release the stuff either, and I'm not the one that will lose something, since I already have it.
fact : Also, actualy, I can still play RA2 and build, without even having to visit GTM, like before my registering.
fact : But all this will not change some facts :
fact : I know the truth, which is pretty enough for me (everyone else have the right to think whatever), and more precisely :
fact : I truly possess one of the best popups (2 very different types) and VSs (chassis VSs, not legged), all due to a superb wedges.
fact : Also, a new generation of pure HSs (that can beat every other harcore 36 HS, it can beat get low too, since it's small and excellent protected) and one of the best SnSs (well armoured, so not to lose, like the 123's one vs get low).
fact : So, yeah, I can counter my innovative bots with another innovative bots, but I will take all the secrets with me.
fact : Not to mention some bots, that are just cool or "never seen before".
fact : The only reason, why I didn't showcased them already, is that the innovation part can be spotted very easily from the pics (the last 36 HS with the raised chassis, for example).
fact : Now (without my bots), lets see how some certain noob-newbies, that can only clone, will pretend to be a top stock builders and beat me.
fact : They were planning to beat me and even mock me, thanks to my innovations, after I release them.
fact : These are only the bots, built after my last return, most of these bots are not showcased, which means - GOOD bots :

fact : Also, my win against the NF's wedges is even a bigger win, considering, I did it with a MW, snapper2 wedges, and mostly, NF is a cheaty (BFE-ed or Trov-glitch-ed) bot :

fact : Yep, everyone can download it and go to "structure desgin", to check this ^ out.
fact : I was about to expose the Geice's love for BFE too, but it dosen't matter anymore.
fact : Basically, I was already generally annoyed.
fact : The last "building styles incident" was just another reason, but it was the last water drop to overflow the glass.
fact : Nary pretty much nailed it :
You are aware that being an arrogant bastard is a-OK here if you have the skills to back it up ?
Unless you're called Venko for some reason.
fact : All the time it's like : If someone else do something - it's OK, but if I do it - it becomes a problem.
fact : Everyone can say "thanks" to the folowing members, which also have some certain % of participation in my leaving :
fact : The guy, that calls people "broken record", "old grandpa in coma", and mocks, all this - unprovoked, he even claims, that he is trying to warn the GTM community about Venko - being the ultimate evil around or something.
fact : Also, he is "accidently" +rep-ing the exact swearing members, just to support/encourage their hate vs a certain member.
fact : After some actions, he still uses the same mocking and bite-ish arrogant posting style for me, he even dared to pulled out the "I'm absolutely innocent and pure, and I don't support the hate in the other members" card.
fact : My English dictionary don't have any suitable word that low, to be used for a name-calling of such a worm.
fact : Some other guy said, that he have nothing personal against me, just he don't like some of my "arrogant" posts.
fact : Then, the very same guy posted "f*** you" in Skype for me, unprovoked, then he wrote "I just want friends here" in the "I'm bored" thread.
fact : People like this, usually are called hypocrites.
fact : Other guy is thinking, that he is some kind of a SCP alien or whatever.
fact : Also, he is so smart, that he got muted for spamming his own showcase.
fact : Another guy swear vets like crazy, ever since he registered.
fact : Instead of commenting the last 2 guys, I will just use one post from Inf :
dudes, meth labs that way --->
fact : The above 4 guys believe, that I'm some kind of an ultimate trouble maker/evil/annoyer in GTM, and I even do it on purpose.
fact : Which is strange, considering, that I'm not banned/muted/warned by the staff, and the most part of my -rep is from the same 4 guys.
fact : And add the fact, that I "smoothed the things" with some members, which shows, that I can change if I'm the wrong one, which I can't say for some others.
fact : Trov can speak about my tries to fix the things.
fact : Even some "neutral about me" members fell into the trap of the intriguers (successful intriguer is successful intriguer).
fact : Also, It's not the first time, when some members are wrong about me :
venko. no matter what you build, none of your bots will ever be compared to the known veterans who are active and lurk considering i've never seen you online, nor enter tournaments.
fact : I can also add, that some poeple didn't belived me for other stuff as well.
fact : The crossed blacks, the anchor in the Nifty bot, and so on...
fact : The bias/prejudice against me is accumulating fast, so I don't plan to stay in such a hostile environment.
fact : The only thing, that I regret, but sadly I cannot change, is that I entered NvsF, I just wanted more entrants.
fact : I want to apologize to Mechadino, he is a good builder and deserved to win.
fact : Also, I'm on a good terms with the "coloured accounts" members, and the problems usually come from an arrogant newbies.
fact : As for the problematic roboteer members, they must know, that my father is an electrician, and I built myself my first real bot in the early 90's (ordering parts was imposible back then), when most of them wasn't even born.
fact : All I wanted lately, was a more strick rules for the trouble makers.
fact : There are some other reasons for my leaving too, like, the pretty dead stock, the lack of some old members, and so.
fact : You all saw this coming, did you.
fact : In the end, I want to say a big "thanks" to ACAMS and Trov, for runing this place.
fact : I also had some good moments in here, and I don't regret my last return, as a whole.
fact : And I have new and old friends around.
fact : But instead to send a PM at any of them, and tell them how great they are, I will just post/wish you guys : everything good, be healthy, and mostly - succes in IRL.
fact : So, here is my final wish/curse upon every GTM member : For everyone (member) that is good, I wish him everything that is good, as for everyone else, I wish everything else.
fact : Everything from the above facts is documented, and can be checked out anytime.
fact : A new record : The biggest post from Venko ever, without even a single smilie/meme.

And Trov, please, perma ban me by IP (don't make me to make you (Noodle style)), to avoid any speculations, that I'll return, using a new account or something.

Peace out.

Venko is gone forever.

Venko dare you : invent a new general (HS, VS, popup, and so on) type of bot.
Stock, HW, MUST be tournaments legal, CAN NOT be just a hybrid, MUST be "never seen before", and MUST be at least SC2 effective.
I tried this.

Just for the record, I gave 10 bots to Ian to choose from, and he chose this art bot, instead of a very deadly SnS, in arena which perfectly benefits the SnSes.

Usually, a stock bot cannot win BotM (no matter if it's cool), if DSL is allowed as well.

And i think you're job will be easier if you stick to this difficulty standard :
Class 1 - Stock AI/RFS AI
Class 2 - Starcore 1 plus Starcore 2
Class 3 - Starcore 3 + PYS AI
Class 4 - BBEANS AI (except for the middle weights which fall into class 3)
Class 5 - INF AI + Restocked

I may be wrong so can a vet help me ?
The latest SC4 is lacking in here ^, and the :
Class 6 - Venko's secret bots :trollface
created specifically to oppose all of the above packs, and they do their job pretty well actually.[/boasting :mrgreen: ]

Back on topic. Add the SC4 and the clasification will look OK. As for his bots, more opinions will be needed to classify them more objectively, but *some* people will not be happy with that crawler I supose.

Sometimes, the GTM is not loading for me (could be any page), the loading progress bar is frozen (no error), but after some time or if I tap a few times the refresh button - it suddenly load instanteniously.

« on: June 29, 2013, 03:06:45 PM »
1. What's the average time it takes you to build a robot?
I can make (without the testing) any type stock HW bot faster, than I can skin it or showcase it. And I'm fast with PhotoShop. The huge resolution and a certain PC hardware, is what will make your game a way more easy to stack.
2. Which robot that you made did you find to be the most difficult to build?
Difficult - no one, the most time needed - when you try to build something like "The Infinite" in stock, you will know the answer/my pain.
3. Out of all the robots that you have made, which one is your favorite?
Considering I showcase only my average stuff, then of course it's from the secret bots of me. But it's still hard to choose only one.
4. What's your favorite any DSL bot?
I'll say "King SnS", I just love any ridiculous stuff.
5. What's your favorite DSL tournament?
"Clash of the titans" of course. Did anyone want to -rep me, cos my favorite DSL tournament is not a IRL one?
So, it's clear, that I like the heaviest weight classes in both stock and DSL.

Hide and Seek was memorable purely for it clever and funny tactics
But no one adds "no hiding under/behind the arena weapons" rule in their tournaments, right? They add "no CN". ;)
Anyway, I'm agree, that "Hide and seek" must be added, if it's not added already of course. I'm too lazy to check out :mrgreen:

Venko outwedges the NF with a snapper2 wedges MW bot - meh

Venko shows a generic HS with a very small inovation (not proven yet to be in a favour actually) - some attention (I still appreciate it but..)
Action taken by Venko after he saw this ^ - :facepalm:

Anyway...

As for those, that think, that still there is a way for the popups to fire - it's still a HS, it still will torn apart the razors, when they fire on a mace collision.

« on: June 27, 2013, 03:32:56 PM »
Here is what I think, about the bulding styles :

 :thumbup Stock : It may don't have the variety or the balance of the DSL, but it's still cool. But some noobs/newbies can find it too hard, cos of the stacking, snapper loading and stuff.

 :thumbup Stock noob level on purpose (but not stock IRL, it sux) : I'm OK with it, even some times I make a noob tournaments vs a noob AI or vs friends (they are noobs).

 :thumbup DSL normal/standard : I'm not playing it, but I do respect it. If I ever build DSL, it will be the standard DSL. I remember the days, when all the members were building the both - DSL standard and stock, and it was cool. It just turns out, that even with the tries to balance it, in the end, some components are just better, like in stock, and I understand this, but I love stock with his unbalanced components, so the liking of DSL-S is not a problem.

 :thumbdown DSL IRL  : The so called DSL-easy mode. The fact > , that my bots must be judged by a GTM members are they IRL or not, or a judges have to decide did I won or not, > alienates me from the IRL DSL. This is a game, the RA2 engine don't have the phisics of the real world, so if someone want to play something VERY realistic, then a real bot building in a garage is more recomended, but it's expensive tho.

 :popcorn DSL 3 beta, Nar AI, 123's new TC and so on : not yet released/in a beta stage, so I can't comment them.

 :thumbup Replica building : I'm OK with it, I even made 1 replica in stock long time ago.

Also, IMO, if you build stock, it makes you a better/hardcore builder overall ('cos stock is hard to build), so it makes the building easy later, when you move to the easier any DSL, but if you start with any DSL in the begining, later the stock will look very hard for you.

*post made more clear, in the terms of meaning, now*
I didn't use the right words for my opinion, now it's more clear.

Also, why the MikeNCR's post, explaining why he likes IRL DSL, was deleted? Nothing was wrong with his posts at all, he spoken some good stuff - off and on topic.

Nary is still hiding, anyways...


The "building styles" thread stole my time for a detailed explanations, so :

I used MidF for this as a base, so no need for the insides. It's very stable actually/hard to flip/no havoks, considering, that it have a very low center of gravity and it spins. The trick here is, that the chassis is high above the popup's smart zone, and it don't trigger the popup to fire, if it's with .py AI that fires on a chassis collision only  ;)

A tribute to my UHW/crawler begining/roots...

What would happen if I build IRL DSL? Will I come up with some very effective new cool innovative never seen before design? If yes, they will probably s*** their pants from the fear of loosing and starting to label it as "illegal/cheap/not IRL" to prevent me from beating them (PI is a judge, and he hates me, so...). DSL IRL Cheap Norris anyone? CN can be built IRL.

That's the story behind my post about IRL DSL. This stoped me to even consider of starting it - some members from that community. But try to guess, will I ever play it after this thread...

I have asked you to call me just Ian (which is my real name) but you call me Ianh -.-
Note taken, Ian.
As for our preformance, I'm still sceptical, and everything can happen (< to read "go wrong") with our team. The fast rammers are a problem for my bot for sure tho.

The problem is in these E-wedges, they are too heavy for the rupt glitch, replace them with the small wedge. Also, try what Sage said, attach them directly to the 60 cm extenders.

Anyway if it's a game then we should be able to build what we want. If people want to build bots like in IRL then why not?
Did I say, that I forbid (or force poeple or whatever) to others to play DSL IRL? I just posted MY OPINION and the reasons to not play it.
Everyone have the rights to play it, but I also have the rights to hate it, so I'm going to -rep the double standart people, that -rep me for not wanting it. Hating the IRL DSL is not againt the rules of this forum, you know. Why everytime when I post my opinion and the haters are not agree, they grudge/insult or - rep without any serious reason? Well then...

@ 123 : Obviously : I, Nary and some few others, but I have the rights to say what I think about the building styles.
